Rapidly create your initial project schedule by copying standard project templates and work breakdown structures for different types of development project. Templates can be as simple or complex as required Adjust your project schedule using a powerful yet easy-to use web-based, graphical, schedule editor Define activity and inter-project dependencies, activity durations, milestones and start and end dates constraints Plan and manage iterative ‘agile’ development approaches to build and test the product Support matrix-based project plans, assigning sub-projects to different R&D groups Auto calculate project duration, cost, gate dates and product launch dates, and identify the project critical path Use powerful estimation rules to identify specific activity durations based on product complexity. Save multiple schedule baselines, to record approved project plans at each gate review | Perform what-if analysis on modifying activities, durations and dependencies, to find ways to accelerate launch dates Maintain a risk register to identify, track and mitigate project risks Identify the project team and assign activities to named individuals Provide project team members with a graphical display of all work they have been assigned to, across multiple projects Track activity and project progress and monitor key trend indicators such as schedule variance, cost variance, resource variance, project risk and earned value Take corrective action on your project to overcome forecast launch date slippage, by adjusting the plan or applying more resources Work offline on the schedule with a bi-directional interface with Microsoft Project |
